Young Manchester girl's race to see favourite things before she goes blind

DEFIANT little Molly Bent is vowing to complete a “bucket list” of things she wants to see – before she goes blind.

Parents Eve and Chris are racing against the clock to create as many memories as possible for her.

They are also fundraising to take the whole family to Disneyland in the US so Molly can meet her favourite princess characters.

The six-year-old was diagnosed with a genetic degenerative eye disease a year ago.

Eve, 26, of Blackley, Manchester, said: “Molly has a list as long as her arm of things she wants to see.

As parents it is heartbreaking for us

“She wants to visit London, Australia and Egypt to see the pyramids. I know I won’t be able to give her half of that but I can try. We just want to help her create as many magical memories as possible.

“As parents it is heartbreaking for us because Molly does get upset and asks a lot of questions, but she is so bright and she loves the world around her.”

Eve added: “Although my brother has the condition and several uncles have had it, I never thought Molly could have inherited it because we were always told that only boys could get it.

“When we got the diagnosis it was a big shock.

“We don’t know exactly when Molly will go blind but it feels as though her sight deteriorates every time we go to the opticians.

“Since we got the diagnosis we have been trying to raise funds to create special memories for Molly when she does lose her sight.
